Tol-in-Guarhoth CIX - Ten Year Anniversary Game: Dead Thread

[Aganzir]

Oyyy we have another 100% wolf!

So.

I'm thinking we can find at least one of Mac's fellows among Lommy, Firefoot and Rikae.

[Aganzir]

I'm curious - which pack do you two represent, Grip or Fang? Or would you prefer us to call them Macpack and Losseposse?

[Lalaith]

The only thing I am hanging onto in this crazy double-threaded world is that I felt very sure of Greenie being innocent and I was right about that.
When it looked (after the Agan kill) that she wasn't, I thought my instincts had completely gone after years of non-playing...I can't believe Nogs or phantom haven't been scried yet. We were so sure you would have done, back in the land of the living...

Interesting logic. Not wolves with Lottie, ergo innocent. How can Eomer reach that conclusion unless he's in the other pack?

[Aganzir]

If Nerwen is actually the seer that's brilliant. All that "Did I mention somebody is probably innocent?" without ever saying it straight.

And yeah I think I'm believing Boro for now. A Borowolf could and would have dropped all those hints just in case he needed them later, but at the moment a fake reveal doesn't seem to make sense for a wolf. And trying to flush out the real mystery role would be too risky as they clearly have killing powers.

Ah makes sense, I'd forgotten about that. I hope you're right about the Fang pack - although it's also possible there's no one left and they have already lost as there was only one kill last night.

[Aganzir]

Also what's Nerwen up to?

That's true! Hope indeed springs eternal.

I'm still not convinced Mac and Firefoot are packmates, but what do you think of Mac and Rikae? Or Lalaith? I assume Eomer would fit in this pack as well, especially if he's not yours.

I agree with this. Also, if Boro was right about Lal, neither she nor Eomer are mine, so we might be down to just one member of the Fang pack still alive right now.

How do you figure? Because as it is (if we scry Lalaith), both Firefoot and I are going to remain unknown.

And, Mac, you had me fooled, anyway (I even had my doubts after Nerwen's reveal). You always look like your same old self to me, wolf or innocent, so I try to avoid basing decisions on you!

[Macalaure]

One would think, after all those different wolf combos you guys have tried out so far, at least one of them had been correct simply by chance. It's fun from my perspective, because I can see the one crucial piece of info that's missing. Should I help you, to increase my chances of bringing down the other wolf pack, or am I just going to lean back and wait until you figure it out?

Yeah, I seemed to be able to maintain a shred of doubt in here, even despite overwhelming evidence. Go me!

Get a grip, Mac. Is that what you're trying to tell us?

[Rikae]

Ok, caught up now, Nerwen calling Firefoot innocent and exempting a whole boatload of people from lynching: Lommy, Eomer, Shasta. Maybe Nilp.

Caught up, but lost. I can't even keep track anymore. What do we know?
Boro can only kill wolves and gifteds, apparently? If so, can we count Lalaith as a wolf without bothering to scry her? She called herself an ordo.
Of course that only works if we trust Boro, and trust that this is indeed how his ability works.

If Nerwen knows Firefoot is innocent, there's no reason to waste a scry on her, either.

I may even be the best option. So, I'm supposed to be a member of the Fang pack with Mac and (apparently seer-dreamed innocent) Lommy or (also apparently seer-dreamed innocent, and also dead) Firefoot? I'm not sure how much good knowing I'm not will do you.

Agan, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who finds the tone of Boro's reveal fishy. Not that he might not have good reasons for it.

I'm sorry if I seem to be saying random things. Like I said, I'm kind of lost at the moment.

[Rikae]

Also... although as I said, I'm not sure how useful it will be, I'll vote with Agan/Greenie/Legate (assuming they vote together, which I hope they will) on toNight's scry.

[Rikae]

Triple posting...

It's odd how Nerwen talked about me being a seer-impersonating wolf.
It leaves me wondering if she had some kind of a glimpse into what goes on in the dead thread.

If Mac had believed your reveal, I think he would have acted differently. Really which wolf could resist gloating at a dead seer who only had one (dead) wolf dreamed? I know I couldn't. So either your innocent list contained a fellow of his so he knew you were lying, or you two are packmates. I wouldn't put it past you, finding you've both been killed, to pull such a trick - after all you both could conclude it with "Their reaction made them look like an ordo to me."

Can he? I don't think he ever said that, or if he did I can't find it. I thought he only said he was sure Lalaith wasn't a gifted. I hope you're right though!

There's just one problem - it's nearly 10 pm, both Greenie and I have work early tomorrow and nobody has voted or so much as suggested a way of communicating information. Not happy about the slowness.

Well considering I thought your posts looked seerish (really it was the main reason I brought Greenie here instead of Mac), I don't think it means she's been spying on us!

I thought that he would have, too, but the people I listed: Boro, Lommy, Agan and Firefoot - are all in the clear now, assuming we believe Boro and Nerwen.
So basically, either I am Mac's packmate or he just did a good job of reacting innocently to my accusation.
Actually, if you guys want to just write me off as a known wolf and scry someone else, it would probably be best. Of course, by saying that someone's probably going to come up with a theory that I'm protecting a fellow by saying this...

The phantom quoted a post earlier where he implies it.

Yes, that could be bad. A good chance there are three wolves here now (at least) and they're working together, and our three known innocents are Europeans.
Actually, that's a reason to scry me: I'm always around at DL.

Edit: X'd with phantom and wolfie

With Mac and Lalaith, assuming Eomer was indeed dreamed and found innocent by the Seer.

[the phantom]

According to Nerwen-

Wolves: Mac, Lottie

Innocent: Firefoot, Phantom, Eomer, Shasta, Lommy

Possible Wolves: Form, McCaber, Morm, Nilp, Mith, Kath

Doesn't List: Sally, Boro

But that's only seven dreams instead of eight. Which dream hasn't she mentioned yet? (Or did I miss it?)

[Loslote]

Presumably she has another wolf. Alternately, she was telling the truth about the special role dynamic, and she herself is the eighth dream.

Sally, Boro, Nerwen... nice pack?

[the phantom]

Well, I'm pretty comfortable with everything that has been going on with the Living. Nothing shocking or difficult to believe, especially as no one has attempted to counter at this point (which, at this stage of the game, they would if they believed the village was headed in a dangerous direction).

I can only check in periodically today, but I'll be fully present for the final hour or so.

[Nogrod]

Okay. A Busy day... and just only managed to read trough the Dead Thread to get something like a hang of it.

So sorry Lalaith, but it seems this place only has Riesling on offer - not quite Sancerre, sadly.

And welcome to Firefoot as well!


On another issue. Our seer must have nerves of steel, whoever it is. *hats off*

On a related issue - I do have a feeling we're actually doing quite fine with most of the wolves already on this thread. Not bad in a crazy game like this.

And just reminding everyone - after reading once again a dozen of theories one more odd than the other - let's not forget that anyone can claim basically anything in this game were nothing is revealed, and anyone can come up with any kind of crazy explanation of anything that happens - or even might happen. We have so many special roles flying this or that way right now that they'd be enough for ten games.

I would assume it's Boro.

Could be Boro - she said she'd been thinking he was the special role for a couple of days. Or could be what Lottie suggested.

Unless they were convinced the real seer is dead. Still, lover and special role impersonation would be risky as the special seems to be an assassin and the lover could come back.

Because no one has posted any nice list like Firefoot did yesterDay, and if they come up with the whole stuff really late (and under some voting fray we are not sure that we want to endorse), it's really difficult...

Yup... I'm trying to think of a way that's not cheating to let them know when we're going to bed and won't be there to see the communication plans, but unless somebody else can think of something, all I have is for the entire Dead thread to go quiet after Greenie, Legate and I leave (with or without voting) and that's not conducive (plus the wolves could mess it up - although the village would probably notice it's just Mac and Lottie posting ).

Phantom! Where are your elaborate schemes when we need them, huh? Now's a chance for the captain of Gondor to show his quality... eh... nevermind that.

They might think that, but we know better, and at this point I can't imagine the real seer would allow it to continue.
